Shot phoenis 200 for the first time and its disgustingly contrasty, however I think it would do well with overexposure and maybe even pulling the development a bit.Gonna have to buy a second roll and experiment.

Thinking of getting a mini fridge to store film in, will any shitty old walmart fridge work?
>>4335681You're asking because you know that's a bad idea
>>4335681As long as it keeps the temps down it'll work.
>>4335672I said it before, and will say again, phoenix is ISO 25 film. Maybe 32, I don't have a sensitometric lab, but iso is defined by the slope of the curve too, and this film starts to have normal contrast ~when pulled 2 stops in ecn-2

first time using a Plustek Opticfilm 8200i SE and it's a mixed bag.pros:>good resolution compared to standard lab scans or flatbed scans >more convenient than a camera scanning>infrared dust removal workscons:>slow (although I've been leaving multiple exposure on and people say it's useless)>infrared scratch removal doesn't workanyone have any tips on making it better? I'm leaning towards keeping it because I think flatbeds are eh and camera scanning is fiddly. any tips on editing as a partially colorblind person would also be great.
>>4335754Plustek suck, get a good light table and a full frame digital with a macro lens. It's much faster and better results.

Forever alone copeposting from extreme jealousyISHYGDDT
>>4335772imagine thinking anyone is jealous of a $300 piece of shit that bricks after a roll. especially knowing its Cosina made junk and the only people who bought it were poorfags that watched a youtube on how it was the best Zeiss lens evarrrr. Instantly know a poser who has more photos of his camera than he has shots taken with it if he has a copetax. Leicachads own your ass.
>>4335760kek i missed that. I see the wedding ring now on her wrinkled old fingers. lmfaooo now that is cringeeee. >>4335680>honey please hold the camera while i take a pic of you. ok ill make sure your old face is hidden by the camera dont worry hon! hee hee my friends on the photo board will be so jealous to see a real asian waifu with a real contax that cost $300 wow! hahaha omg dude hahahh i cant stop laughing imagining you setting this gay ass shot up. put that fucking bitch on minoxidil bro

Hey sis, rate my contax camera
>>4335778oh man we got a live one
@4335789(you)
>>4335785Didn't Contax actually stop making cameras during WWII? And after that it was slav shit and then licensed Asian junk? The current Zeiss line up is all Cosina stuff made in the same factory that spits out Voiglander right? It hasn't been proper German Zeiss since the 40s...
>>4335793they did a shitty slr system that no one wanted after the war and then they went under. But the slav shit is more legit than the japshit, at least the slavs have the decency to use the same equipment and make germans work at gunpoint.
>>4335753It's already available for the Euros, from what I've seen on Fotoimpex. I'd grab some, but I don't want to pay their shipping again lmao.

>>4335845>THAT WASNT REAL COMMUNISM REAL COMMUNISM WAS SABOTAGED ITS TOTALLY POSSIBLEOk, but you can't philosophize your way around material reality. Currency is just an abstraction of it that makes it easy to distribute the value of resources to those who contribute to the economy. The finite things it represents - labor, energy, and raw materials, still exist without currency and even without currency an industrial operation is OBLIGATED to produce as much value as possible while using the bare minimum of those resources. As such, all soviet countries have consistently caused widespread ecological destruction because the costs of it were not immediately apparent, and sometimes even debated.They have also all collapsed and tiny individual commie states directly killed more people than fucking hitler because communism is fundamentally anti-human. It is the belief that human nature is fundamentally immoral and we need to constantly struggle to pretend we don't have it, instead of finding a way to be happy with it. It is an impossible system that ALWAYS RESULTS IN WIDESPREAD DEATH, STARVATION, AND SUFFERING AND WILL ALWAYS BE RESISTED WITH AS MUCH VIOLENCE AS POSSIBLE. Communism is fundamentally broken and impossible. It has, is, will, and always will be an instant failure.
>>4335846>soviet countries have consistently caused widespread ecological destruction because the costs of it were not immediately apparent, and sometimes even debated.yeah but my Chaika is cute :3

>commies: ok but if you read the persuasive essayThat doesn't change the fact that every attempts has failed. Real communism can not be tried because humans are not communists (an alien species that evolved alongside the ability to summon materials and energy out of thin air).>>4335881Rigid, always. A collapsible lens is more inconvenient than a lens cap or a camera bag. Just more fiddling. If you want a small lens, 35mm/40mm.

>>4336537Is it fun to shoot or a pain in the ass? How dim is the RF patch? Do you carry it as much as you thought you might?
>>4336541XA is not RF...
>>4336542I thought the original XA, not the 1 or 2 etc was RF?
>>4336542Are you retarded? The XA is an rf
contax
>>4336541The patch is definitely dim just due to age and it being tiny. You can use the tape/sharpie trick to brighten it up a bit, so far that’s worked for me fine. I enjoy carrying it around, but being that I’m a serial GAS faggot I don’t just because I’m constantly running a “test roll” through something else lol. The rf works very nice though, and it’s super easy to slip in and out of a pocket to grab a shot, if that’s your concern.[EXIF data available.

>>4336546Rude.
>>4336547Thanks anon, covers off on what I've been pondering. I think I might pull the trigger.
>>4336550Unless you plan to use it for a lot of close-up, critical focus stuff...th xa2 has a noticeably sharper lens and keeping it parked in the middle or far focus setting will yield great results for general snapping around cities and nature.
wish me luck diy-ers, I'm taking apart agfa optima sensor to fix the winding mechanism and an offset sprocketif I remember to take pics I'll maybe make a guide
at what aperture should I be adjust a lens to infinity if it can't focus right?

hey p i have 3 rolls of trix that i got a month or two ago and havent shot anything since may. i want to get out shooing again, what are some recommendations to shoot that would look good on trix? also i remember someone saying to shoot it at 100iso, should i?
>>4336577Yeah. Though some lenses get distortion the closer you get to either end of the scale. Is your lens totally broken?
>>4336795Go find some mountains.
>>4336650Interesting for sure but that price lmao.I used an old ilford roller for bulk and paterson for small batches. Wasn't built for paterson and would roll off if light but place it against a wall with a piece of wood and something heavy on either side and it done the job well enough. Loved using the roller for 4x5, pure bliss desu.
>>4336650>439eurJust a meme at that price no? Meant more for dedicated lf boomers and people running small homelabs I guess? Not so much for your typical individual home developer
>>4336885>>4336874Agreed about the price. I suppose that the greater consistency with automatic temp compensation(c41 and E6 mainly), and the chemistry savings by using it horizontal could allow one to cope with the price. It would take a very long time to start saving money, but you could get there.The convenience of automatic roller development sounds wonderful.

I'm in a pretty bad period in life, and haven't been shooting muchAny tip to get back up? Projects, ideas, whatever
>>4336923Take photos of buttholes
>>4336923Buy a hasselblad, take photos of blek ppl on ektar, submit it to an art exhibit and call it recognizing diversityuse the money they give you to buy some booze. thank me later.
>>4336923where do you live? could do a film "snapshot" of your city or town in 2024 different aspects of it. put it together in a set and some commentary. those are always fun. post it here or maybe some blog might like it
>>4336931>>4336947lovely ideas, I'll put a raincheck on it though>>4337000i'm not fond of snapshitting, but maybe planning on some places and going there to shoot them might actually be a good ideaThere's many places I'd like to visit in my city and that I've never been to for whatever reasonIt sure will be fun and novel and might be good for getting me out and shootingThanks, man
>>4337002sure. i've done this many times myself. shots on their own that might be weak compared to whatever "epic" street crap is memed on instagram, can become very poignant and valuable when in a big set. the library that is looking run down, parks filled with people playing, the cinema out of business, the cafes swelling with people, the traffic congestion full of big trucks and small electric cars. the world changes. cataloging it all together might not be interesting for many people online. but i bet it would be for the people who lived whereever u are. at the very least u can have a nice visual journal of where u were at this point of time and as u said, get to see parts of the city that u havent been before. films a great way to do this but anyone could do this with a phone camera or digital.

QRD on fixers? I just mixed up the last of my sack of store brand powder and need to buy more. I never thought about it much but now that I'm looking there are "rapid" and not, "hardening" and not, powder and liquid, two part, hypo clearing agents, washes, etc.Any reason not to just use this cheap shit for everything?
Stupid question, what do you call a camera that has neither a reflex mirror, a ground glass back, nor a rangefinder? I'm talking about one where you look through a viewfinder that isn't coupled to the lens, rangefind off camera or guess the distance, and set the focus from there
>>4337108Scale / zone focus camera
>>4336532I've had two. The first one I took with me on a trip, and I used it constantly because it's pocketable and capable. The rangefinder patch was barely usable, even with the tape trick, so I found myself using zone focus a lot. That one had shutter issues, so I got a new one. My new one is much nicer and the rangefinder patch is actually usable. However... I've been getting tired of it recently. I've been somewhat unhappy with the photos I've been getting out of it when compared to my FE, and lately I've been bringing that out more often even though it's infinitely more annoying to carry.Also... this isn't really the camera's fault I guess, but I often have photos that are ever so slightly blurry, even in broad daylight. I guess I'm just moving the camera too much, or whipping it into my pocket immediately after pressing the shutter button, but it happens so often even after actively trying to avoid it that I wonder why it doesn't happen on my other cameras. pic related.
>>4335988Get some Electra 100, it's just respooled Aerocolor IV.
I have been shooting on a Minolta Dynax 5 for a while now and have been thinking about getting a new camera. I've been looking at older Minoltas, like the X-700/X-500 or the XE-1 and I wanted to ask if it makes any sense getting one of these cameras? What are some differences I will see in picture quality? Thanks
>What’s the “quickest” MF format camera to buy?I’ve been shooting my Pentax 67 a lot the past few months since I’ve gotten it and the camera itself is great however>I am not convinced 6x7 is a format that’s needed. (or convenient) I got a Pentax. 67 a while back and I absolutely love the camera and shooting with it, however the tradeoffs with 6x7 compared to 6x6 has me scratching my head. I’m getting around 20% less pictures for no perceptible increase in negative quality. Perhaps if I did massive prints myself it would show but I don’t. As for the aspect ratio I personally see no degradation of quality in shooting 6x45 compared to 6x6, and since I already have a 6x45 I question what is the purpose of a 6x7? As much as I like the 6x7 I’m debating selling it for a “easy quick to use camera for candid shots” whatever that camera may be
>>4337097I use ilford rapid fix and it lasts 6or so months once mixed. For no more than I develop I don’t see the point in pinching Pennie’s.
>>4337164What are you unable to do on the dynax 5 that you think a different camera will? If the answer is nothing, then why not stop being a GAS faggot and use that money for more film instead?
>>4337164i gave my dynax/maxxum 5 away to my mom to use a 70s larp box and regret it every dayshe won't even consider selling it back. she likes it too much.

>>4337181I totally forgot about how expensive jobo anything is. They have dev tanks twice as expensive...
>>4337168I believe no medium format camera is going to be really fast to useFor fast candid portraits I use a 35mm, because it allows me to quickly compose, set the camera and shootIf it's on my neck I can shoot in probably some 3 or 4 secondsThat's why I use medium format for slower shotsEven though I like shooting stuff on the streets on medium format, I know it takes me like ~20 - 30 seconds at least to get my camera out of my bag, get the lightmeter reading, pass that to the camera settings, compose, focus and shootI think a TLR is the most practical medium format, but it's still slow compared to 35mmI'd advice you not to approach MF the same way we do with 35mm camerasbut that's just, like, my opinion, man
>>4337189You’re largely right, but there are a small few auto focus autoexposure medium format cameras that come close to a point and shoot experience. Ga645 is one I can think of.
>>4337189Hasselblads are pretty fast to use. Just use 400 speed film, sunny 16, and stand further away from stuff so it's harder to miss focus.Bronica with the ae prism too
>>4337168Rollei 2.8f>>4337196You (should) be using sunny 16 with any manual focus camera not just MF. >>4337189While generally you are right 35mm is quicker to use, if you use higher speed film or in sunlight it’s not too hard to manage with MF
>>4337189>Even though I like shooting stuff on the streets on medium format, I know it takes me like ~20 - 30 seconds at least to get my camera out of my bag, get the lightmeter reading, pass that to the camera settings, compose, focus and shootYou can skip all this bullshit by using decent negative film and keeping your MF camera on a strapIt's just like shooting 35mm but fewer shots and f16 looks more like f8
>>4337210>keeping your MF camera on a strapan RB all day everyday, like a japanese tourist in Disney in the 90s? wherever I go?I generally ride my bike and carry the camera on my backpack, when I see something I wanna shoot I can take more time than this to get how I want it, but for a "quick shot" (as in "as quick as it can be in these circumstances") it takes me some 20 to 30 seconds>get lightmeter>read>put it back in bag>get camera>put strap, take off lens cap, put in pocket>set the readings>compose the scene>focus, put back loupe>take metal plate, put in pocket>check the shot>shootand then the whole routine back+ advance the shot and set the mirror, never forget thatIt takes timeIt's arguably way slower than when I carry a 35mm along>get camera in bag>instantly advance lever >compose, focus, internal reading, setting aperture and shutter speed almost instantly, shoot
>>4337228You seem to be conflating automation with speed. A 645N will shoot just as fast as a point and shoot 35mm which it sounds like you have. Any manual camera where you need to adjust aperture and exposure manually will be much slower and you should just use sunny 16 rule regardless of medium format or 35mm
>>4337228>An RBthere's your problemkeep camera on strap, sunny 16, 400 speed film pushed if need be, zone focus/rough focus and shoot, only thing that's slow is film advance and changing rolls lol[EXIF data available.

>>4337238It's my dream camera and I have fun with italso riding my bike with those extra 3.5kg (with the extra lens, flash and 2 backs) makes my legs look sexier :3I was just saying medium format is pretty much inherently slower than a 35mm counterpart (whether it's fully mechanic, electronic or whatever)And more portable (a MF SLR is bigger than a 35mm SLR, a rangefinder MF yadda yadda you get it)That's my point:If you really want something fast, maybe MF won't suit your needs

Just did some late night on the shitter ebaying and I snagged a late SS M3 for 900usd. Supposedly with shutter firing at all speeds, curtains in good shape, speeds sounding ok, nothing sticky, timer working, in decent but user appearance. I talked the guy down cause he hadn’t run any film through it so couldn’t guarantee everything was good but it was fine last time he used it years ago. How fucked am I? I already am starting to have doubts lol but that happens every time I do late night impulse eBay offers. Never had an M3 and was wanting to try one out anyway.
>>4337515lol I'm stuck in a hotel room for the day and ended up buying a Canon 35mm f/2.8 LTM from ebay tat I didn't really plan on - ebay's a bitch sometimes kek. I hope your buyer's remorse disappears and you get a lot of fun out of it.
>>4337502yes, im not posting my personal photos here. learn to focus>xerpolitical brainrot when thinking of photography. lol, lmao even>>4337515its probably fine. film m's are robust. just run a roll through it and test the rangefinder is accurate when you get it
>>4337524Yeah it’s bad if you are impulsive lol. Gotta stop going on there when I’m working on a tough shit.>>4337526That’s part of the reason why I went for it, quite cheaper than local marketplace prices and I figured if the “German build quality” isn’t a meme it should be fine. Is there a specific test for the RF or will any old thing on Google work?
>>4337528get a good lens that doesnt have its focus fucked. then focus on the moon at night and it should be infinity. if the rangefinder patch is off then you need to fix it. also do the same but with something at 0.7m (measure it out). is this your first leica or rangefinder?
>>4337530I have a Leica CL so it’s my first M style Leica rf. And I own other fixed lens rangefinders like the QL 17, XA and such, so I’m familiar with how focussing works on these. Just not the M3 itself. seems like itll be easy enough to check
>>43374036X7 camera is no bigger than a 6x6
Just get a 6x9 ??? And you can make wallet size contact printz
>>4337716some 6x7 cameras are sort of the same size but occupy it in different proportionslike, the pentax 67, and the mamiya 7but a complete bronica sqa rig is $500, and a good reliable 67 is thousands
im not trying to get too deep in this shit yet, but i dropped my Olympus p&s and broke it so now i need a new one. what are some decent ones that arent memed and go for hundreds of dollars that i can keep an eye out for?

Whats the best long focal length lens for a Wista 45SP (12" / 300mm of bellows)?I've looked at the telephoto Tele-Xenar 360 f5.5 but apparently its not very sharp nor very contrasty
>>4337781Nikon and fuji have good teles in that range. Double check their bellows draw tho.
>>4337781Schneider symmar convertible is also excellent, especially for a convertible, but you have to work the smaller aperture at the longer focal length.
>>4337773I bought a canon autoboy ii for like 10 bucks at the thrift and they’re still pretty cheap on eBay. 2.8 lens full auto everything, it’s ok for a point and shit. Unfortunately the entire market is feeling the meme price squeeze, even lower models like this are climbing.

I have an option between buying a bronica sq-a with a ps 80mm f2.8 and a speed grip, but no winder, and an sq-a with a s 80mm f2.8, speed grip, AND winder. Both with the stupidly overpriced WLVF. Anything cheaper looks just a little too beat up and doesn't come with the WLVF.Is the ps better enough to be worth the hassle of trading the speed winder i'd never use for a winding lever?

"punchy" negatives are a good thing, right?
>>4336850well i read on some website to do the infinity focusing wide open so i did it while aiming at the moon and it kinda worked out - wide open its only somewhat sharp in the centre of the frame, closed down its pretty sharp throughout and it focuses normally on closer distances. The lens is not brokem at all but it need to be focuses outside factory spec because of weird flange focal distance it has (I found an orphaned industar 69 at a flea market and managed to mount it to m43 without any filing or griding like most of the idiots on the internet, it just need to be refocused)
>>4337867Depends how hard they hit.
>>4337790Unedited except by my lab
>>4337867Not for scanning
>>4337806huh, that's a clever solution.
>>4337780Get the original Contax T that the Ricoh ripped off... Much better quality and an amazing Zeiss lens.
>>4338009dis nigga
>>4337797PS was a big upgrade imo. The power winders are cheap and plentiful made by tamron.
>>4338009Fuck that, dude should get the chinon bellami because it has a frickin barn door.[EXIF data available.

Does anyone want to buy a Pentax 67 with 105 and 45mm lens? Camera works great and takes great pics.
>>4338089how much?
>>4338120$980 shipped. Assuming you are in the US. I just do not like 6x7, bought a rolleiflex last night so I am selling the pentax to cover the rollei.
>>43381212 much 4 me
>>4338052Can't believe they named a camera after that JCH dude
>>4338089Any pics? I'd be interested.
>>4338052>Chinonwho thought this was a good idea for a brand namesounds like CHINK
>>4338179Can post better pics (and links to original eBay listings) if interested. I’ve had it 2 or 3 months and from a camera standpoint it’s one of my favorite, I just don’t like 6x7.[EXIF data available.

Film bros is this page posting AI images or are they real? Pic related. https://www.instagram.com/slicksforall/
>>4338197Ill give you $200
>>4338181Only if yer a raycis :3c
>>4338197I give 200 AND a blowjob
>>4338261They try to hide it but it's not convincing, if you get past the fake grain and blurr, you'll pick up shadows and shapes that don't make sense. Her uneven thighs and her left hand having a thumb and the triangle shadow it makes on the wrong side of her hand for two examples.
>>4338283lol it gets worse, but I guess he learned from his early posts to hide hands and tells with movement blurr, diffusion and grain
>>4338285I like how the website about Slicks page is also literally vague nothing. Whatever this guy is grabbing with his right hand-- it doesn't make sense.
>>4338261Hope these answer your question, but yeah any account that obviously avoids mentions photography or them being photographs is an immediate red flag. Lying through omission. Any time they don't hide it with grain or movement blurr it's obvious. Maybe their most recent work with the Cybertruck is real since the grain is so different, and the same thing with the video since it's obviously stitched together from other sources but the photo you posted and the photos from the same series with movement blurr and light streaks is obviously AI. Their inspiration highlights are pretty solid tho, but obviously it's other people's work. >>4338287Last example, every still they've posted has a tell. Like this one with the weird middle finger. No amount of grain fixed it.
>>4338197I'll bid 200 and a pawjob + a little kiss on the forehead
>>4338283>>4338285AI is still obvious as fuck but this is a grim reminder that no negs = not photos. And you basically need medium format (6x6 or larger) because even 36mp projectors won't be able to outresolve the medium and make convincing fakes, assuming consumer semiconductors don't die before then.
An absolute brutal mogging. My first tray developed 8x10 came out looking pretty good. Contact print tonight. It's a really cringe picture.[EXIF data available.

oh wow photos of literal trash, that is a new one
>>4335776You think a wedding ring is on the right hand?
>>4338338If you want me to take an 8x10 portrait of you and your mom just ask, bro. No need to beat around the bush like you have been the past few threads.
>>4338344Are you responding to the nophoto trying to derail every thread?
>>4338384LF fags are the most baitableI don't know why, it's just how it isand they never learn
>>4338384I was being genuine. I need to practice my portraiture.
I have failed, badly, but this will not slow me down. This was a good test shot to get my feet wet with 8x10 negatives. It doesn't look as bad as my phone makes it out to be, but it is far too soft for my liking.I believe the softness of this image is in large part due to diffusion. I wasn't sure if the diffusion I was seeing on my GG was to be trusted, but it is. F45 is too soft for macro.Moving from 4x5 to 8x10 has a pretty big learning curve. I WILL improve.[EXIF data available.

>muh trash
>>4338386Jokes on you he’s doing photography
>>4338422I am too, I just ignore baitalso I'm not eternally doing test shots
Im going to buy a pentax to take photosWhats the best one?
>>4338430Post portfolio What’s that You can’t?
>>4335680this wouldn't happen to have been taken in chicago would it...
>>4338434Just ignore the poor little guy. Remember that one poor little guy's trash is another man's treasure.
>>4338433best is subjective although the LX is supposed to be considered the top of the line/best manual camera they produced I like the Pentax Program Plus of the 3 Pentax SLR cameras I own
>>4338537What does LX stand for?
>>4338433spotmatic, everything else is cope
>>433854460
>>4338552why?I've heard good things of the Spotmatic, but why wouldn't a K1000 or something be better?It seems to be pretty much the same thing, but with a hotshoe and without stop-down meteringstop-down metering sucks btwwhy do people like Spotmatic so much?
>>4338602These are all meme cameras. Hipster classic. There's no real reason to prefer the spotmatic, or k1000, they're just hipster icons.The LX is the only actual good camera that's pleasant to use and fairly capable instead of a crappy "sovl" POS for having nostalgia for a time you weren't alive for.
>>4338603>The LX is the only actual good camera that's pleasant to use and fairly capable instead of a crappy "sovl" POS for having nostalgia for a time you weren't alive for.Enjoy your sticky mirror and shitty electronics
>>4338603>These are all meme camerasnigga these are just cameras, go touch some grassthey're overpriced because of hipsters, but they're still very good
